Get the social media polls ready. With Ja Morant taking his sneaker leaker side hustle to the next level by fully unveiling his Ja 4 alongside a range of colorway options on tap for his next, this hand-off period as the Ja 3 winds down and its sequel revs up is a prime time to debate which iteration is better.

We’ll reserve our final judgment on that question until #4 for #12 comes closer into view, particularly given the fact that chapter 3 still has plenty to be written before it’s sunsetted. And to its credit, some of the more impressive we’ve seen are loaded for the silhouette’s closing chapter. Adding to the silver/blue Ja 3 “Jurassic Park” and a Kill-Bill-style Ja 3 “Let Me Be Ja” is another that leans into animalistic expression.

This “Beast Pack” colorway builds off of the inherently striped logo applications by adding tiger patterning throughout the upper, supported by fiery metallics on the Swoosh and tongue before a royal blue insole adds contrast from a top-down view.

Look for the Nike Ja 3 “Beast” hitting shelves as we march through Summer 2026, placing this pair somewhere between now and the end of June. The standard adult/kids’ sizing will likely be on tap, with the former clocking in at $135.
